so it's embarrassing people, who are questioning his power on foreign policy. certainly something he's going to be considering. northea he's in a coalition government. he's not in a huge majority situation, as others have been in britain over the years. he has certainly been weakened, and it's a triumph, i have to say, for the opposition leader. many people see him as a weak opposition leader, but certainly he's not that tonight. >> and it certainly is a setback in u.s./uk relations, because you know, max, the obama administration was counting on its number one ally, britain, to be together with the united states in case there were military strikes against these targets in syria. so this could be a real setback in u.s./uk relations as well. >> reporter: yeah. the president was brought up in a debate today as well, but david cameron brought out he doesn't run uk politics, it's parliament that does. he did describe the president as a friend though. he said he's repeatedly spoken to him very closely. i know all levels of government in the civil service as well, th

foreign policy. there was talk about, well, this is going to hurt afghans, they're going to get attacked by the taliban because of some of the revelations. an official told cnn, i think it was in 2010, that they didn't have to move any afghans because of the revelations. and yet, bradley manning is facing life in prison for potentially aiding the enemy. do you see a contradiction there? >> you're correct to point out that even if we then moved to the speculative harm, actually, nato officials in kabul told cnn they couldn't even see someone who needed to be protected from the speculative component. what is a travesty about the bradley manning prosecution is that the defense has received preemptive bans on their arguments. they have been cut off at the knees. they are not able to attend any events. there has been no harm. any u.s. document or u.s. official, any witness, they're not able to make that argument. and the two journalists involved in the snowden case, what is the chance they're going to be
